The number of fatal car crashes has dropped precipitously in the last 50 years or so due in large part to stricter laws regarding car safety and general technological innovation. Together, drunk driving laws, seatbelt laws, and universal airbags brought car-related deaths down from 25 per 100,000 people to about 10.
With guns, though, it’s the opposite. While the uptick in gun-related deaths hasn’t been as dramatic as the drop in car-related fatalities, the change over time is similarly related to changes in legislation.
